All Past Seasons of the Late Lamented Show

[aeroluv327]

As I'm watching the past seasons on Pluto, I was thinking...

 

... what are your favorite "milestone" episodes each season?  Preliminary auditions?  First meeting/rehearsal?  Makeovers?  Announcing the team/first game?

 

I personally love seeing finals.  I love seeing the interviews.  Who could forget the girl who didn't know what a political party was or Kelsey for saying there were 50 yards on a football field?  I love seeing solos and field performance.  What veterans showed up out of shape?  It's also been fun to spot some girls who tried out years ago who have since made the team or training camp.  I'm watching season 11 right now (I think?  Tasha, Milan, Yuko and Madeleine made the team) and have spotted Miranda, Hannah, Taryn and possibly Taylor P. at finals.

[JarlenaFan2024]

Episode 1212;  Was it ever said where Kelli was when Show Group danced at the opening of the football team's training camp @ The Star? She wasn't there and Anthony Ramos was.

ETA - UGH Pluto repeating scenes grrrr....

Judy talking robotically....grrrrrr

Anthony making a big "entrance" to the locker/dressing room just ugh

WHY do the Cowboys spend all this time with "product placement" and "special guests".  NOT necessary.

All the talk about Tara and Savannah being a "package deal" and what would happen if one made the team and the other one didn't.  They didn't make this big a deal when Jasmine Goode and Danielle Barhold auditioned for their rookie season.  Were Tara and Savannah Jets too? I forget.

Tara and Savannah made DCC the same season.  Were you talking about when they made Jets Flight Crew? ETA I think that's what you were talking about but I'm a little confused.

It's so fun to go back and watch the early seasons because of the fashion. I'm watching 1x08 and Judy and Kelly are in matching velour track suits (Judy in blue and Kelly in peach/pink) with tennis shoes on. It's totally mid-00s fashion and I'm loving it! It's also closer to what they used to wear on the regular to practices before they were on TV.

I also really like them  making the rookies from each group dance in front of everyone and ask "who's ready for the game?" I wish they'd bring that back instead of just Judy and Kelly snarking about people from high up in the stands.

So true! You didn't see Kelli wearing fancy dresses and stilettos in those first few seasons, it was more about comfort. And all the girls wore sports bras and shorts during practice, no pinks and blues like they do now.

I will say I'm glad they don't spend nearly the same amount of time on outdoor fitness challenges with Jay. That took up at least half the first few seasons But they did used to dance a lot more than featuring all the celeb choreos they bring on. Just seeing them dance the regular routines is what I enjoy.

Like when Judy took off her heels in Season 12 cause she wore the wrong shoes to work on the field in:)  I would think K&J also get free Nike's that they could wear.

Was watching #607 where Kalli Fullerton was cut & am viewing it on mute as am watching a premiere of my favorite show, When Calls the Heart!  I always loved her but noticed how Kalli’s face just wrinkled like she had spent too much time in the sun even though she was in her mid twenties.  Kelli had tears on her face after they let her go.

[KickPretty]

Britney Schram is so cute, looks just like Britney Spears In the late 90’s.  Season 6 has the cutest rookie class.  They are all adorbs.  Britney, McKenzie Lee, Courtney Cook, Angela, and more.  They were really a cute class.

Episode 701:  How can Chelsea Chaney go from wanting to be an "inspiration" to the mouthy immature brat in season 8?

Is it me or does Karissa look PISSED OFF when she basically stomps out of the stadium after finals?

He was a dancer in one of his videos.  Also a quick google search I learned that Daniel Jeffery taught Michael how to Moonwalk.  And it was inspired partly by a dance Daniel did with other dancers on Soul Train.  One of those dancers being Cooley Jackson (aka Jennas dad).  I didn’t find anything that specifically said he did the choreography for Michael.

She did look rather upset.  I think she said..."to be so close one year, and then to get nothing"...that almost said to me that she fully expected to be invited back to TC that year and she was kind of dumbfounded when she wasn't called.

I don't think Dayton came across as EVER thinking she would make the team because she was Shelley's daughter.  This was just mean even if CMT scripted it that way.

I rewatched 1304 last night. Shouldn't have done that. It just made my blood boil

Watching the first few eps in a row will do that.  You really don't realize how snotty Kelli is until you see her over and over with Dayton.  And of course, what gets me is the whole asking Shelly if she wants an "unprofessional mommy moment" with Dayton at uniform fittings.  This after recreating a pic of Kelli and Tina with VK in her mom's place.

I gotta buy season 13 !

[Teriyaki Terror]

Ugh the episode in season 12 when the vets come and critique. I didn't mind Tina, Ashton or Mia's comments, but shut up Cassie. We all know you like to lay down the law because nothing could get you taken off the team. Not your injury, bad dancing, and you most certainly did not have the DCC look. Woof.

Was the 2009-2010 squad the strongest, best all-around squad since the show began? I'm thinking yes.

And "not being the smiley cheerleader" wouldn't have flown with anyone else, either. See Ann Lux getting absolutely dragged for having a more reserved personality.

This!!! When she said that is rolled my eyes because I remember Charlotte had it out for Ann, Kelli had it out for Ika for not smiling , then Judy “Taylor you look pissed off” , Kristen  “ Smile , your flirting with the floor” being a smiley girl is a requirement is it not ? Unless you are Cassie.....

 Auto Amy getting called out by Kitty C for her RBF in her first time to finals and working on her solo.

[dariafan]

I guess I always miss season 5 cameo shoot   I’ve never heard Judy going to bat so hard for Liz and naming them veterans 

[Anduril]

Its bullshit that Stephanie H. stayed when she had the same weight issues as Liz R.  The favoritism is so obvious. 

[JarlenaFan2024]

Episode 603:  Those photos of Karissa.  Kelli says "address this 'maturely'" but doesn't tell her how to "address it".  Thoughts?

Then Judy says that when someone is "private" that people can still click on photos.  That's absolutely false.  I'm completely private on my FB and I've had people check what can be seen.  They can't see any photo but my profile picture.

They really liked Mackenzie. She would have made it regardless. Though, after watching that season again, she should have been cut. By the last episode, her kicks still looked lower than everyone else's. 

I also noticed that Angela couldn't even do a split in tryouts. She shouldn't have made it to TC either.

I agree with this 110%...I think they would have taken Mackenzie regardless.  I noticed the splits as well on Angela...if she hadn't been from all the way Down Under, I wonder if they would have cut her??

You know it's funny...I'm watching Season 8 right now and DJ Guthrie basically said to do away with Morgan...and he wasn't sold on Kaitlyn...yet BOTH of them make the team.   They told her (Morgan) when they called her in, what the choreographer (Jordan..who I can't stand at all) from the PREVIOUS week had to say about her...(has power, fun, but memory issues) yet they said NOTHING about DJ Guthrie's opionion... Why do they even bother asking the guest choreographers their opinion ? They should have told her that he would do away with her 😛

I adore Mackenzie and I'm so glad she made the team, Angela too.  Both great cheerleaders and still super involved with their friends from the organization.  But I felt like Racecar Taylor was actually a stronger kicker and just as powerful, yet she was cut.  Booooo.  And she had a "different" look.  I don't know why I'm still annoyed by this several years later, when all other parties have of course moved on.  And bah, you let Morgan on the squad?  Bah humbug.
